Google working on PayPal rival? |
The Wall Street Journal reported late yesterday that Google is going to release an electronic payment system. 
Online search-engine leader Google Inc. is preparing to introduce an electronic payment system later this year in a move that would pose a financial threat to one of its biggest advertisers, Internet auctioneer eBay Inc.

Update 6/21/05: RealTechNews checked and says Googlebucks.com is registered.
